BREAKING: Judge denies last-ditch effort by Google, Apple to have wage fixing lawsuit tossed. Trial begins May 27
By Mark Ames
On March 28, 2014



TODAY:United States District Judge Lucy Koh has denied the final attempt by Apple, Google, Intel, and Adobe to have the class action lawsuit involving the “ Techtopus” hiring collusion scandal tossed out.

Summing up her denial, Judge Koh wrote:

The similarities in the various agreements, the small number of intertwining high-level executives who entered into and enforced the agreements, Defendants’ knowledge about the other agreements, the sharing and benchmarking of confidential compensation information among Defendants and even between firms that did not have bilateral anti-solicitation agreements, along with Defendants’ expansion and attempted expansion of the anti-solicitation agreements constitutes evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to Plaintiffs, that tends to exclude the possibility that defendants acted independently, such that the question of whether there was an overarching conspiracy must be resolved by a jury. Accordingly, each of the Defendants’ individual motions for summary judgment is DENIED.
